Managing your Membership
Access to the Membership Portal

We do not allow guests; you must be a Michigan State University student, faculty, staff, alum, or retiree to be eligible to purchase a membership.

MSU Students
As the final step of activating your membership, please log in with your MSU NetID in our membership portal to read and sign the acknowledgement of risk form to gain access to all the recreation facilities and programs at MSU. All students* pay the recreation fee along with their tuition to help fund enhancements to Rec Sports facilities and programs. Your membership is tied directly to your student ID, which you will scan when entering the facility.
The Acknowledgement of Risk form must be signed before using Rec Sports facilities.
*Note for Graduate Teaching Assistants: As part of your collective bargaining agreement, you are exempt from paying the mandatory fee on your tuition bill. You are still able to purchase a membership if you would like to utilize RSFS facilities. Rates are listed below.
